Chapter 91: Suspicion
Although the masked man helped, Sizhen couldn't help but ask. In addition to the dead people, there were also several people who had suffered more or less minor injuries, and there were several who had broken arms and legs, among which there was a female dependent, the wife of Chen Weixin, the governor of Guangxi, whose left arm was cut off.
Bai Yansong's chest, the heart of the third prince's wife was stabbed by a sword, and life and death were uncertain.
It was later found that the swords of the samurai and the dancing girl were smeared with drugs that could anesthetize people's nerves.
If it weren't for the fact that when those people were afraid to dance, the poison on the sword would immediately expose the horse's feet if they touched someone, and I am afraid that it would be more than just narcotic drugs.
Be ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to yourself, except for the dancing girl, those people immediately bite and kill themselves when they see that the situation is not good, so ruthless, but when they fight against Sizhen, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have left room for it, and that style is almost clear that they are all sent by Sizhen or that they made this assassination tonight in order to be loyal to her.
Although no one has asked Sizhen yet, the eyes of the officials are full of suspicion, and the third son, Lu Yuxuan, said in front of everyone that he will definitely investigate tonight's incident thoroughly and give Gege an explanation.
Lu Yuxuan also understood in her heart that he was still injured, so Kong Sizhen asked him to take the lead in investigating the assassination with Qi Dongping, firstly, if she avoided their father and son to investigate this matter alone, she would not be able to clear the suspicion of participating in this matter; Second, they also suspected that their father and son were somewhat involved in tonight's assassination, so they asked Qi Dongping to investigate with him, and the people on both sides restrained each other and monitored each other.
In such a situation, the true identity of the man wearing the mask must be clarified, not to mention, the mask he wears on his face is the same as that of those samurai, if it is not for the difference in clothing, it is simply mistaken that he is also a member of the assassin.
The man complained while taking the mask: "It's been less than a year, and you forgot about me, it's really unconscionable!" ”
Seeing the handsome and familiar face under the mask, Sizhen was stunned.
It turned out to be Kong Yanling!
"You, why are you here? Is everything okay these days? What about my brother, how is my brother? After a while, Sizhen came back to his senses and asked eagerly.
Sun Yanling didn't speak, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Sizhen fixedly.
He had never seen Sizhen in court clothes.
The golden base of the Zhai bird four dragons, inlaid with eight east pearls of the crown, the top of the two layers of gold, the top of the ruby, Zhu Wei is decorated with five gold peacocks, there are six east pearls on the left and right Zhu Wei, there is also a gold peacock behind the hair, three lines of beads. The golden rank lapis lazuli between the hair, each decorated with three eastern pearls, decorated with red coral, and the crown and collar are hung with golden yellow silk, also decorated with red coral......
This outfit makes Sizhen's whole person look brilliant, gorgeous and dignified, those colors are extremely bright and positive, and this kind of outfit can't suppress her brilliance, her starry eyes are extremely black, her lips are as delicate as red coral, plus her skin is white, under such a heavy brocade dress, the whole person looks as bright and bright as a delicate flower in the spring sun.
Seeing Sun Yanling looking at her silently, a flush appeared on Sizhen's face, she coughed lightly twice, and said with a straight face: "Sun Shenling, you have disappeared for so long, why haven't you heard from you at all?" When you came back this time, did you return home by holy decree, but what did you plan to do? Do you have any news of my brother? ”
Although he had only returned to Guilin not long ago, Sun Yanling had heard a lot of things since Sizhen entered Guangxi, and he looked at her even more differently, knowing that her martial arts had improved a lot, not to mention, she had seen it very thoroughly in this major political matter, so when he learned of tonight's assassination, he hurried over, but unfortunately he was still a step late, and he only had time to throw the wine jug over when the dancing girl used her sword to hold Lian Guoan hostage, so as to avoid further expansion of the situation.
The mask was taken off from a warrior's face and put on by Sun Yanling after entering the hall, he didn't expect Sizhen to really not recognize him, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and then heard Sizhen talking to him like this, he was a little unhappy in his heart, snorted coldly, and said with a sneering face: "I almost died a few times this year, how do Gege want me to send you a message?" You won't recognize me when I wear a mask, so you don't take me to heart at all, but from the moment I came in, he was busy dealing with these people who came to stab you, you say, what are my plans? As for the prince, he is fine, except that he is not free of movement, there is nothing else. ”
When Sun Yanling said these words, Sizhen's face had already changed color several times, especially when he heard him blame himself for not recognizing him, he was like a child.
She felt that Sun Yanling's temper was so incomprehensible, at this moment they were talking, although the person next to her stepped aside, but after all, it was in full view of everyone, did she want her to confide in him about her lovesickness? Besides, she didn't have lovesickness for him, of course, over the past year, she did have a heart, and she wondered several times whether he was caught or killed by Nanming's side, and she was very sad, but even if there was no news, she still told herself that Sun Yanling was still alive, even if the Queen Mother asked, she still did not hesitate to say that she had a marriage contract......
Isn't that enough?
She frowned, looked to the left and right, and said softly: "Sun Shenling, at this time, it is not suitable to talk about private matters, you still tell everyone, what have you discovered, what are the origins of these warriors, right?" ”
Sun Yanling wrinkled her eyebrows and stared at Sizhen for a long time, still complaining in a low voice like a child: "It's not suitable to talk about private matters at this time, when will you say it?" Is there a time when you can talk to me about personal matters? ”
Traveling thousands of miles from the capital to Yunnan, he and Sizhen had many opportunities to get along, but the closest time was only the night of separation, on the shore of Erhai Lake, in order to confuse Li Dingguo's people, they pretended to be young couples holding hands......
Along the way, no matter when he talked to Sizhen, she was a rejection of people thousands of miles away, even if he mentioned the marriage contract, she would also say that serious girls, who were not close to men before marriage, had a marriage contract, and they should restrain themselves so as not to do Meng Lang's things......
Sun Yanling thought a little deflated: All this is just because there is another man in her heart!
He thought, is he too stupid to obey his parents' orders and marry this woman who has someone else in his heart?
It's just that he really insisted on marrying her because of his parents' orders?
Sun Yanling was a little confused for a while.
But he also knew that at this time, it was indeed not a good opportunity to say this, looking at the eyes around him who were looking towards them, he saluted like other subordinates to Sizhen, and said solemnly: "I was hit by the witch cup at that time, and almost lost my life, it was the red branch that saved me, and it was the prince who pleaded with her, and she was able to save me, just like that, it took a few months to recuperate." I look, the prince is over there, but it is safer, if he is taken out of Dali, according to the red branch, he is a dead end, so after my injuries are healed, I settled down and left Dali, I didn't expect to meet Nanming's army on the road...... I was almost killed as a prisoner......"
Sun Yanling said it lightly, but Sizhen knew that he must have experienced risks in the past year, although he saw people standing in front of him in a good manner, he still couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Did you fall any injuries?" Let me see. ”
Shaking his head, Sun Yanling said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this time, thanks to the prince of the world, it was he who let the red branch suppress our news one step ahead, so that it did not reach Li Dingguo's ears, and then, she also managed to spread all kinds of news one after another, confusing the ears and eyes of Nanming, otherwise, not only me, but even you left Yunnan that day, it would not have been so smooth." If you want to talk about injuries, it's not nothing, but ......" he looked at Sizhen with a smile, "It's all inconvenient places for people to see, do you really want to see it?" ”
Sizhen came back to her senses at this time, there was a loophole in what she said just now, she originally meant to say that she would find a doctor to see, but because she was eager to say everything, Sun Yanling misunderstood, and the red glow on her face that had not yet been removed was even more obvious, and she felt that her ears were feverish, so she had to pretend to be casual and said: "I will ask a doctor to take a look at it later, it is more reassuring." ”
Yu Xuan had already bandaged his arm beside him, and after listening to them for a long time, he came over to Shi Li and asked, "Gege, I heard you say that Sun Shenling just now, do you already know each other?" Also, the mask on his face and those samurai, what is going on? ”
He said it in a loud voice, and some officials who were bandaging their wounds next to him looked over, their eyes full of suspicion.
Although some of them also saw Sun Yanling throwing the wine jug just now, but after listening to what Yu Xuan said at this time, they guessed whether this was the trick of the gang just now, and seeing that there was no hope, they pushed one to kill their own people in order to win their trust.
Sun Yanling saw that although Yu Xuan looked respectful, what he said implied that he had something to do with those assassins, and even wanted to implicate Si Zhen in this way, so he had some opinions about him in his heart, he didn't panic, glanced at Yu Xuan with a little contempt, and sneered: "Before Sun came here, I heard that among the sons of Lu Dutong, the third son is quite talented and virtuous, and he restrains the sergeant, and he yearns for it, but he didn't expect to be famous as it is better to meet, but this sight is under the fame, in fact, it doesn't match!" ”
"When I entered the hall just now, I killed a warrior closest to the door, took a mask from his face, and saved a lady by the way, I heard that the lady is the wife of the third prince, if it weren't for Sun's arrival in time, your wife is only afraid that she will go to Huangquan on the spot, am I with those people, wait for your wife to wake up, and you will know when you ask."
"And-" Sun Yanling looked around coldly, forced back those suspicious gazes, and then turned to Yu Xuan and said, "When these warriors came in, they were all wearing armor, is there anything similar to what I am wearing?" Even if you didn't count the number of people when you watched the dance, if you count them now, you should know that there are a lot of eighteen samurai. As the most important son of the capital of the United States, your eyesight is a little poor! ”
